    You WIll Need To Reset Your Password!!!

    We just moved hosts on this system, and this has caused a few updates. One is the way we encode and store the encoded passwords.

    Your old passwords will NOT work. You will need to reset your password. This is normal. Just click on reset password from the log in screen. Should be smooth as silk to do...

    Sorry for the hassle.

    Other Side Of Maleficent

    I have been looking forward to Maleficent with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. On one hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, so cold and so pure, and I want desperately to see more of her and her back-story. On the other hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, and I would hate to see her parodied, taken lightly or ultimately destroyed in a film that does not understand this great character. The good news is that this film almost gets it right; but that is also the bad news.

    Disney To Feast In France

    The follow up to Disney’s 2013 Academy Award Winning short Paperman has been announced, and it will premiere at France’s Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Titled The Feast, the short looks to be based on the same stylized CG techniques used on last years Paperman, a more natural and hand-drawn look to computer animation.

    Renegades of Animation: Pat Sullivan

    Pat Sullivan became famous worldwide for his creation of Felix the Cat. What most animation histories gloss over is Sullivan’s checkered past and longtime standing as a wildcat renegade. He didn’t follow the rules. And he made damn sure to fully protect his intellectual properties.

    Since Warnermedia and the Discovery Channels will merge...is there a way there'll be a show or two with LT/MM characters on Discovery shows?

    Not at first, since the Discovery channel has a dedicated audience, and drifting away from that would be a mistake. Then again, Cartoon Network "drifted" away from their core audience, and MTV hasn't focused upon music in the last ten years, so ... who knows? You don't have to be crazy to work in broadcasting, but it seems to help.

    I won't doubt Sesame Workshop may merge with Warnermedia since they had good relationships with each other...especially with the film Follow That Bird and their series Sesame Street being on HBOMax.

    It’s dumb. AT&T owning WarnerMedia is such a roller coaster ride of emotion of nonsense. Stop the mergers. Stop selling assets. Let Warner be Warner again. It’s the best studio in the industry, yet its consistently stifled by poor corporate management.

    Offhand, I'd agree. Problem is, Warner Media, at the time, didn't have pockets as deep as the Disney juggernaut. ATT was looking for an outlet for its production assets, and Warner Media liked tapping into ATT's bank vault. Fortunately, Zaslav at the helm of Discovery is Old School: he's not into checking boxes, he's into Return on Investment. Warner Media had better concentrate on pulling in bigger audiences, or some Warner people are going to get sacrificed to the volcano god.
